Brilliant weekend

Overall rating: 4  

Great weekend, brilliant atmosphere. Shame about the rain all day Sunday but wouldn't be Manc if it stayed dry! Some great acts, Kelis was incredible. Well organised, would definitely recommend.

Amazing

Amazing weekend, the rain and the mud definitely did not stop me raving and i didn't even have wellies.
Shame that the Ape and Metropolis sound system was a little quiet but the DJs and acts during the hour off were incredible, best birthday weekend ever!!

ParkLife 2011 - Madchester in a Park

Overall rating: 3.5  

First of all, how brilliant isnŽt it being in a park in the middle of your city partying away with like minded happy people! Brilliant!
So cool it is so central!

Saturday was awesome with the sun, the atmosphere, the tunes, the vibe, the lot!

Could of asked for a bit louder music on all stages, especially Main Stage. But of course, being in the city centre does come with requirements.

Sunday took a bit of the relaxing sunny times away, but was exchagned with mud-wrestling and all other fun festival actions!
GrandMaster Flash was rocking it, as was 2ManyDjs closing act!

Big thumbs up to most of the performers, even the dancers in "half-times" were well entertaining.

Also, the last minute changes of some set-ups could of been better announced!

And as all other festivals, how can you charge for a programm to an event you have bought tickets for? Never had and never will get my head around that scam!
Get more bar-staff in that work more effective, to lesser the queues = party and enjoy the acts more!

All in all, good venue, happy people!

Keep it true to Manchester!

Parklife 2011- Saturday

Overall rating: 5  

I had a day ticket for Saturday 12th June at Parklife 2011, and it was fantastic!!

Much better organised than last year, with no standstill queuing time, more toilets, bars and more extra festival areas like the Secret Garden.

Love that such a great festival can be held in our very own Platt Fields Park. Best performances for me were Fake Blood, Boys Noize and Subfocus, who were all seriously banging- can't wait for next year!

Parklife did Manchester proud

Overall rating: 4  

Queuing for bars the only thing I can complain about, but that's a given in any festival. Had a top time, atmosphere was brilliant despite the good old British weather being awful on Sunday, but if anything the mud and the rain added to my fun as you can see from my photos! Excellent. Will definitely be going again next year if the line-up's as good as it was this year.

Great festival again this year, the vibe and atmosphere was top notch!! DJ's were excellent, spent the majority of the night in Crosstown Rebels tent, watching the likes of Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and Damian Lazarus. Seth even came over for a kiss on the cheek and a photo, so personally I was made up!! Also checked out Hercules and the Love Affair, Jamie XX, Fake Blood, Boys Noize and the Treehouse Silent Disco - all fantastic. Easier to get in this year also, no long queues like last year. Only small complaint was the bar areas, we queued for 45 minutes initially, and decided to stock up and get about 4 drinks, but getting out the crowd with the drinks was a nightmare, and felt a bit unsafe at times, but thats my only little niggle. Other than that, fantastic - will be back next year.

Parklife - AMAZING but a little too quiet

Overall rating: 4.5  

AMAZING WEEKEND. Obviously made better by being surrounded by around 60 of my friends, but the whole event was superb.

The music, acts, atmosphere, people were just bang on. The ONLY down side was that the tents were way too quiet. Either turn the bass up, or if you're going to keep it down, turn the volume as a whole up. Maybe have more speakers at the sides/back to give an all over sound and not just at the front. But that's the only bad comment I have.

Again, I know it's surrounded by a residential area etc, but if you can't hold the festival properly there, then find an alternative (maybe Heaton Park or Wythenshawe Park - I know it's ideal at Platt Fields because of Fallowfield/student population etc) just throwing ideas out.

or maybe even broaden the event and have other genre tents (folk/pop/rock/acoustic etc) and give immediate local residents free tickets to encourage them to be on board with the project.

AWESOME AGAIN!!!!

Parklife 2011

Overall rating: 4  

Had an amazing weekend, too bad it just went by too quick! Found the rainy Sunday pretty much just amusing, the muddy shoes were an accomplishment. All in all it was very well organised, queues weren't too much to handle. The only downside I can think of was the sound quality in the 'dubstep' tent. I wish the music would have been louder and considering the genre relies on heavy basslines, it was a shame that you could hardly hear the bass. When enjoying great artists such as Caspa, I don't want to only hear the bass, I want to feel it. So next time, more bass! Apart from that, a job well done!

It was OK

Overall rating: 3.5  

I only went the Sunday and was a bit damp from th erain. Th emusic was class though. I was dissapointed in Oxfam selling jumpers for an umberellas for £15 I dont mind supporting charity but that was a rip off! Im not to sure if I will be visiting again next year. May be try a different cuty like carlisle

Muddy galore :) love it!!

Amazing weekend, the rain and the mud definitely did not stop me raving away - even though I had gladiator sandals on and looked like a monster!

Loved it!! Adam Beyer was awesome...as was Seth Troxler.....slightly disappointed with Grandmaster Flash though :)

Busy Busy busy but excellent
